I boosted an instrumental rendition of the Twelve Days of Christmas, so here's my favorite vocal rendition with alternative lyrics. Forgive the somewhat preachy religious message for the first day. I still think the rest of it is funny, and it's what I grew up with. music.youtube.com/watch?v=34Yq…

After our poll on best WhatsApp alternatives, we've got a lot of replies how great #SimpleX is. ❤️ So we added them to our comparison: tuta.com/blog/best-whatsapp-al…

What are your favorite chat apps? Do you use a WhatsApp alternative for better #privacy? 💪 🎉

Let us know via the comments, we'll likely update the blog post again soon! 😍

It's December 1, so time for me to pull out this fun little Twelve Days of Christmas MIDI again. Decided to render it with the SC-88 map this year. Still have no idea about its origin, though if the time stamp of the earliest copy I can find is accurate, it turns 30 today. MIDI download: drive.google.com/uc?id=1-53AZM…

This week in F-Droid (TWIF) was published again. On the technical side, it is about a new F-Droid client beta release and an update to Delta Chats E2E encryption.

Unfortunately, we want to let you know, that our Community Council (ComCo) resigned, and two important members left the project, while another is on indefinite break. This is their statement: gitlab.com/fdroid/admin/-/issu…
Thank you for all you have done for F-Droid, we will miss you!

ChatGPT can reveal its training data, that includes personal information.

not-just-memorization.github.i…

Here, the authors used a prompt to instruct ChatGPT to repeat a word forever, eventually resulting in different text that can be linked back to the source; examples include "company" and "poem".

No doubt this "attack" (in words of the authors) will soon be intercepted, but who knows what other formulation of prompt results in the same behaviour?

One connector to rule them all...
I am at home office today but then I realized I forgot the laptop charger at the office. 👿
But wait I bought the 100W usb-c recently. Can this laptop be charged by it? Luckily it can. Long live the #usb. I love the connector and universal standards and the technology behind it. 😇

Staří Řekové říkali, že "jen svobodný člověk se může vzdělávat". Ale řečtí filosofové zase říkali, že "jen vzdělaný je svobodný".

Filosofie znamená v překladu láska k moudrosti. Skutečný filosof tedy není ten kdo si o své lásce čte, nýbrž ten, který ji žije. Nepřebírá názory ostatních, ale přemýšlí sám o věcech a sám z nich vyvozuje závěry pro svůj život.

LLaVA-1.5 is an open-ish AI model which can provide image descriptions and allow follow-up interaction, akin to Be My AI. The best part is that you can run it locally on your computer if you have an appropriate GPU... or very, very slowly if you want to use your CPU. I thought it'd be cool to hook it up to #NVDASR so you can get image descriptions for the current navigator object and then ask follow-up questions. So, I wrote an NVDA add-on to do just that using llama.cpp. github.com/jcsteh/nvda-llamaCp…

Die Bundesregierung hat das Deepfake-Video vom Zentrum für Politische Schönheit jetzt auch auf YouTube löschen lassen. Sie beruft sich dabei auf das dafür eigentlich nicht vorgesehene Urheberrecht. Die Künstler sprechen von Zensur und kündigen rechtliche Schritte gegen die Bundesregierung an.
